around on the north mountain. There’s even tours offered around this time of year, with days changing every year based on when the flowers are at their peak of blooming. There are several different species of flowers, the most common being lupine, frying-pan poppy, and goldfields. These are all protected by the California department of fishing and wildlife, meaning you cannot pick the flowers. Visitors may look, but not touch. There’s a variety of different species that live on this mountain.…
Oh That Sarah Sarah Zagorac is just your normal below average young adult. Sarah is a naive girl with no friends, and no future. State Farm khakis are brighter than her future. At the end of senior year at William Harrison High School, her yearbook quote was, “When’s this due ?” “Stefen, I love you.” Vampire Diaries, “The Turning Point.” As Sarah watches this show intensely, with the lights off, she hears a thunderous bang. Sarah is home alone, so most people would go and check it out,…
Primary Source Analysis Austrian-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia and Serbian response I was convinced that Serbia would not accept many of the terms in Austria-Hungary’s ultimatum, specifically 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9 because those demands compromise Serbia’s freedom and independence from Austria-Hungary. Terms 2, 7, and 10 are reasonable because they are standard requests of a country investigating the death of their monarch. Terms 1 and 3 interfere with a free press. Austria-Hungary is defining…
known to man since antiquity. • The use of fire to cook, heat and dry foods may be described as the earliest form of food processing. • Foods may be processed by exposure to dry heat (e.g. roasting) or wet heat (e.g. boiling) or cooked in oil (e.g. frying) Until the 19th century, all methods of food preservation relied heavily on creating an environment unsuitable for microbial growth (e.g. use of salt, sugar, spices, acid, fermentation, drying) Canning: The concept of canning first…
Stopping twice, for about a half an hour total, Charity was not sure how far they actually made it that first day. Having come to a bend in a good-sized river, she halted the wagons about thirty minutes before dark; it looked to be a good camping spot. She thought it might be the Oconee River she saw on the map at the mercantile, but was not sure. She had tried to memorize the map, however, seeing it on a two foot by three foot map hanging on a wall and actually traveling it, were two entirely…
Most of us grew up hearing commercials stating, this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs. The commercial used an egg frying in a pan as the metaphor of drugs frying our brains. Does that hold true with marijuana? A great debate today is whether or not medical marijuana should be legalized. The controversy surrounding the legalization of marijuana debates the drug effectiveness vs. safety and regulation. My belief is that marijuana can have many positive effects on a disease process where…
“There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.” (Muhammad Ali Jinnah). For years, one of the most effective ways for women to feel empowered was through literature based around strong female protagonists. Themes of empowerment are found throughout Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat,” Roald Dahl’s “Lamb to the Slaughter,” and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s…
As Schindler struggles to preserve his Jews in an increasingly desperate Third Reich, a simple paperwork error throws all of his women out of the frying pan, directly into the fires of Auschwitz. Only a timely intervention by Schindler saves them as he, according to Roger Ebert, “walks into the death camp himself, and brazenly talks the authorities out of their victims.” The egocentric Schindler who…
Throughout the twentieth century, many authors wrote to invoke feminism. Prominent roles in literature have had the desired impact. At the time of the writings, men were seen in society as being superior to women. The short story “Story of an Hour”, written by Kate Chopin ;the story “Sweat”, written by Zora Neale Hurston; and the story “The Yellow Wallpaper” written by Perkins Gilman, all present characteristics which are effective to challenge women’s roles in society. These authors all exhibit…
The black dog is a malicious spirit and an omen of death. Heathcliff is the black dog that haunts the moors of Emily Brontë’s novel, Wuthering Heights, and she uses dogs as both hallmarks for Heathcliff’s savage behavior and heralds of his misdeeds. The canine comparisons also bleed into descriptions of Hareton, whom Heathcliff raised in his image. Additionally, the actions of the dogs, as well as Heathcliff’s actions towards them, give insight into his beastly character and foreshadow his…
